Web Designer & Developer

About Reason8

Reason8 is a premium web design agency based in Hinckley. We design, build and look after websites for owner\-led UK businesses, from local specialists to ambitious national brands and public bodies.

Our work is design\-led, our brand is premium, and our clients expect a level of polish most agencies don't deliver.

We're growing fast and bringing web design and ongoing client support back in\-house. This role is your chance to own it.

The role

You'll own our client websites end\-to\-end, from initial design through to long\-term care:

New website projects

• Design in Figma: translate client briefs into polished, on\-brand designs that reflect the client we are working with


• Build in WordPress \+ Elementor: turn your own designs into fast, well\-built, responsive websites


• Manage the project: own timelines, milestones, and quality from kick\-off to launch


• Lead client calls, present designs, gather feedback, manage expectations

Ongoing client care

• Own our Website Maintenance client base: you're their technical point of contact


• Handle monthly maintenance tasks (updates, backups, security, performance \- we use WP Umbrella for this)


• Respond to ad\-hoc client requests: content changes, small dev tasks, fixes


• Build the kind of ongoing relationships that turn clients into long\-term advocates

You'll work directly with the founders (Tom and Rachel) and have real ownership over the work, the process, and how we evolve our offering. This is a role with breadth: design, build, client relationships, and ongoing care all sit with you.

Who we're looking for

• 4\-6 years' experience as a web designer/developer, ideally agency\-side


• Genuinely strong designer: Figma is your home and you've got the portfolio to prove it


• Confident builder: fluent in WordPress \+ Elementor, comfortable with HTML/CSS and basic custom work


• Native or near\-native English: you'll be on calls and communicating with UK business owners every week


• Comfortable being client\-facing: confident leading meetings, presenting work, handling ongoing client relationships


• Self\-managing: you can run multiple projects and maintenance clients without someone holding your hand


• High attention to detail: small mistakes are not part of your output, and you take true pride in your work


• Familiar with SEO basics so sites are built with search in mind


• Comfortable juggling new builds and ongoing client work in the same week


• Shopify experience welcome (we do 1\-2 projects a year)


• Eligible to work in the UK


• Able to commute to our Hinckley office

Who this won't suit

• Designers who don't want to build


• Developers who don't want to design


• Anyone who only wants to work on new builds and not look after ongoing clients


• Anyone uncomfortable on client calls


• Anyone looking for a narrow, task\-based role


• People with no ambition looking to do the bare minimum

The package

• £32,000\-£40,000 depending on experience


• Full\-time, office\-based in Hinckley


• 20 days holiday \+ bank holidays


• Direct involvement in shaping how Reason8 grows


• 3\-month probation period (extendable by 1 month)

Why this role

You won't be one designer among ten, taking briefs and outputting wireframes.

You'll be the web person at Reason8; owning new builds, ongoing client relationships, and the technical standard we're known for.

If you want breadth, ownership, and a real say in how things are done, this is that role.

Pay: £32,000\.00\-£40,000\.00 per year
